In-Depth: Four Tips To Spot (And Avoid) A Restored Dial
Collecting vintage watches isn’t for the faint-hearted. There are many, many things that can go wrong if one doesn’t know what to look out for – wrong movements, crowns, hands, franken-watches – the list goes on. In the spirit of what we published a few weeks ago, today we want to share some tips on one step of the vintage watch due diligence process: how to spot (and avoid) a restored dial.As many collectors will tell you, the dial is the most valuable part of any vintage watch. In most cases, a pristine dial with minimal patina, zero scratches, and no blemishes can fetch significantly higher prices than dials with some degree of wear, with the exception of some specific instances where patina might be preferred (e.g. tropical-dial Rolex submariners). 1 OF 17 Two pink gold 6062s, both alike in dignity �C but not in price.

PO 8500: SS vs. Ti
After seeing beautiful pictures of the PO 8500 Ti I made a few phone calls to ADs today and found out that nobody has them yet, at least in the SF Bay Area. I haven't tried on a 45.5mm watch (biggest one I have is 42mm) so I went to an AD to see for myself. I love the size! I tried on this PO 8500 SS. Now I'm kinda torn between the two. The blue of the Ti version is simply stunning, at least in the pictures I've seen. On the other hand, the SS version is gorgeous too. For those who have seen both in person, which one do you like more and do you think the Ti version is worth the $2600 premium over the SS?

Plane has landed
A few weeks back I posted a thread as I was contemplating between a 233 vs. 2016 IWC BP. I currently own a 557 and 425. After further assessment I pulled the trigger on the new 2016 IWC BP with the number 9 and original location of the index triangle. My PAMs have a different feel but this BP is in another level. It feels nostalgic watching the second hand sweeps and a pure bliss to wear on your wrist. Don't get me wrong I love my PAMs but to be honest its tends to get boring when they have numerous iterations of the same watch. Please enjoy the pics and thanks again for all your feedback.
